Tasting Notes
Colour
Rich amber with burnished copper-gold hues.
Nose
Powerful yet elegant, the nose opens with peat smoke that mingles with honeyed citrus and orchard fruit. Vanilla and toffee create a creamy sweetness, while a delicate coastal brine and resin from the oak add depth. Subtle dried fruit, almond, and a whisper of sherry warmth emerge, offering luxurious, spellbinding complexity that lingers invitingly.
Palate
Bold and opulent, this cask-strength Highland Park coats the palate with peat-smoked sweetness—honeyed orchard fruit, vanilla and toasted oak. Rich spice threads through clove and pepper, with a hint of maritime salt lifting the finish. Long, warm, and refined, with dried-fruit echoes.
Finish
Long, refined finish of smoky heather and warm sherry-spiced oak, with dark fruit and orange zest lingering. The sweetness tapers to toasted almond and spice, then a gentle, smoky echo that slowly fades.
